with Mexico
NEW YORK – In recent weeks, both General David Petraeus and
House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., have woven into public speeches
the theme of combining the United States, Canada and Mexico into a single,
North American Union.
“After America, there is North America,” explained
Petraeus, the former U.S. military commander and former head of the CIA,
to a panel entitled “After America, What?” held at the Margaret Thatcher Conference
on Liberty on June 18, 2014, hosted by the Center for Policy Studies in
Great Britain. In his presentation to the conference, Petraeus proclaimed
the coming of the “North American decade,” a vision he explained was founded
on the idea of putting together the economies of the United States, Canada and
Mexico, some 20 years after the creation of North American Free Trade Agreement,
or NAFTA.
“In each of these economies there are four revolutions
going on,” Petraeus continued, naming the following: an energy revolution,
in which the United States is leading the world in the production of natural
gas and shale oil, combined with Canada’s enormous resources in the Alberta
tar sands and Mexico opening up the state-owned Pemex to international oil
companies; an information and technology revolution led by Silicon
Valley; a manufacturing revolution; and a life sciences revolution. “The
forces unleashed by these four revolutions with all three countries being
as highly integrated as they are, with Canada and Mexico being our two top
trading partners, I believe we can argue that after America comes North America,”
Petraeus explained.
The syllabus for a similarly themed class Petraeus
teaches at the City University of New York entitled “The Coming (North)
American Decade(s)” includes the following course description: “This seminar
will seek to answer the question, ‘Are we on the threshold of the new (North)
American decade(s)?’ To do so, we will: survey the global economic situation;
examine the ongoing energy, manufacturing, life sciences, and information
technology ‘revolutions’ in the United Sates; assess the implications
each revolution has for the U.S. and the global economy; and determine the
policies, practices, regulations, and laws needed to enable the U.S. to
capitalize on the opportunities presented by the revolutions and
thereby to contribute to the global economic recovery from the Great
Recession.”
An examination of the assigned reading specified in
the course syllabus shows Petraeus has derived much of his thinking from
global economic sources in trying to project the future of North America in
competition with major regional forces including China, the EU, as well as
Russia, India and Brazil.
Pelosi sees U.S. and Mexico as
“one nation” Speaking at the U.S. border with
Mexico on June 28, Pelosi addressed the crisis of thousands of unaccompanied
children and teenagers from Central America illegally crossing into the
United States. Referring to the United States and Mexico, Pelosi said, “This
is a community with a border going through it. And this crisis – that some
call a ‘crisis’ – we have to view as an opportunity. “What we just saw was so
stunning. If you believe as we do that every child, that every person, has a
spark of divinity in them and is therefore worthy of respect, what we saw in
those rooms was [a] dazzling, sparkling array of God’s children, worthy of
respect. So … we have to use the crisis – that some view as a crisis, and it
does have crisis qualities – as an opportunity to show who we are as Americans,
that we do respect people for their divinity and worth,” she said.
Champion of North American
Union dies In January, WND reported that
Robert Pastor, a long-time professor of international relations and director
of the Center for North American Studies, died at the age of 66 after a
three-year battle with cancer. On Oct. 31, 2013, just more than two months
before he passed away, Pastor chaired a conference at the Center for American
Studies at American University entitled “The NAFTA Promise and the North
American Reality: The Gap and How to Narrow It,” a conference Pastor
organized to fulfill a request made by Vice President Joe Biden a month
earlier.
At the U.S.-Mexico high-level economic dialogue held on
Sept. 20, 2013, at the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Mexico City,
Mexico, Biden gave a speech in which he commented, “You take a look at the
United States, Mexico and Canada, you’d sit there and say, ‘Why? Why isn’t
there even more cooperation? It’s just so natural geographically, politically,
economically.” American University posted on its website on Oct. 30, the
day before his last international conference started, Pastor’s last remarks
prepared for publication, including his vision of NAFTA at a crossroads
nearly 20 years after being implemented.
As WND reported, Pastor’s 2001 book, “Toward a North American
Community,” presented an argument that North American integration
should advance through developing a “North American consciousness” by creating
various institutions, including a North American customs union and a
North American Development Fund for the economic development of Mexico. Pastor
also was vice chairman of the May 2005 Council on Foreign Relations task
force report, “Building a North American Community,” which presents itself
as a blueprint for using bureaucratic action though trilateral “working
groups” constituted within the executive branches of the United States, Mexico
and Canada to advance the North American integration agenda.

This is treason. It’s time for
impeachment. We need to quit the
U.N. It’s time to quit NAFTA. It’s time to bring charges of treason from
the House.
